Prince of Persia now the Highest-Grossing Video Game Movie Ever!
I can't express how excited I am to see Prince of Persia earning enough at the box-office to overtake Tomb Raider as the most succesful video game movie of all time. 
Despite mediocre performance at theaters here in the United States, Prince of Persia has dominated overseas and has accumulated nearly $300 million in worldwide ticket sales.
I'm not sure how it didn't take off more. I thought it was an incredibly exciting movie, even if you have no exposure to the videogames it is based on. I have played and thoroughly enjoy the games that have come out lately, so that only made the payoff on the bigscreen that much better. Also, Alfred Molina totally steals his scenes with some hilarious one-liners. I thought they totally nailed the look of the game (wall jumps!) and the effects when time is turned back looked great!
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and the man clearly knows what he's doing....I personally can't wait to see this one again on Blu-ray, and perhaps one day they'll actually try a sequel. There have been worse movies with sequels greenlit faster, so I can only hope Disney does the right thing.

First Look: Tangled
This coming weekend, it looks like Disney is finally going to reveal some actual footage of their latest animated movie, Tangled. Here's a quick teaser of what is likely to be teased this weekend.
I've been looking forward to this ever since I saw Bolt. I loved the animation style of that movie, and it actually was a pretty great story too! Hoping this lives up to the expectations. Plot synopsis follows.
Directed by Byron Howard & Nathan Greno (the co-director and head of story on Bolt respectively), this new telling of the classic fairy tale Rapunzel (the original title of the film), will transport audiences “to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses. Expect adventure, heart, humor, and hair, lots of hair.” Our lead heroine is voiced by Mandy Moore while Chuck’s Zachary Levi will play a “dashing bandit” named Flynn Ryder who hits the road with the “rebellious, teenage hair apparent.” The voice cast is also rumored to include David Schwimmer, Matthew Gary Gubler, Kristin Chenoweth, Dan Fogler, and Grey DeLisle. is scheduled to hit theaters in Christmas 2010.
Despite this saying Christmas 2010, Tangled is actually scheduled to hit theaters in November 24th 2010.
